Agreed. More video of these incidents will come out that will tell the whole story. I'm thinking there was some provocation that angered the cops. I can't think of any reason for them to react as violently as they did, but I want to hear the whole story.

Back then, they closed off Commerce Street downtown on Friday and allowed open containers, as people walked the 10-12 block loop. Cops had zero tolerance for physical mischief. Two friends almost got arrested, one for tripping over a barricade and the other trying to keep him from falling down. They used to arrest ~ 150 people that night, usually for Drunk and Disorderly/fighting.

Commerce Street was the best. My first time was 1979.

There was a lot of pent up anger / frustration being expressed, but somehow it rarely got physical because of the barriers. If you crossed the line, you deserved whatever you got.

I had a friend thrown in jail that first time. No one even saw what happened. He was just gone. We didn't hear from him again until the game was over the next day.
